If they are going on the 301/302 Golcar circulars, they should have ordered the Max version instead.

The Lime Green 328 branding appears to have been removed from at least a couple (possibly all) of the B7RLE's at Huddersfield.

When can we expect Bramley based services to gain some route branding? Seems a bit strange that HP have pretty much done all theirs, yet not one of the Bramley based buses is branded.

Maybe bramley have a surprise in store with a brand new route branding. Usually what happens they get launched then later they get modified. Look at the overground.

I think the whole issue surrounding branding is a bit of a mystery to be honest, the only branding that appears to be getting done in recent times, and I think this applies to all First areas over the country is to new stock. I remember last year when the 98 ex-Olympic Geminis were imminent the word from the paintshop was that none would be branded and nothing else would either. Within a month of that statement in come the contractors to start applying Green, Mauve, and a bit later Red/Blue, Brown/Blue and even none colour coded 97 branding! HP staff didn't do any of these. Incidentally, for anyone who keeps records of this sort of thing there are only 39 branded for Red/Blue, 36201-214/216-240. 36215 never received it for whatever reason and I've seen at least 3 fleetlist sites that show all 40 as being branded which shows that we shouldn't just assume. Think some lists also show 36241-248 as being 97 branded but in the event only 36241-244 received it.

I understand not doing the old Scanias on the 19 and even the B7's on the 40/49/50 but you'd think the 56 and maybe 4/16 would be done.

Ditto for Bradford, the Overground has largely had it. Pink and Yellow done, Blue is years old on T/V saloons. Orange, red, green and purple all long gone. First should either do it right or sack it.

And also Lime for the 576 service that transfered from Halifax and Brown for the 363/X63 Huddersfield operated service

At the moment i don't think bradford have enough geminis to brand the orange and 576 route.

The colour/route branding died out in Huddersfield a good while before the new livery was introduced and the subsequent repainting programme. It did make a brief return on several B7RLE's following repaint, but only the Lime green 328 branding, Which has now disappeared. It was never a good idea in Huddersfield anyway, too many routes interwork.

Can't see route branding happening or either working on the Bramley based fleet. As the buses are sent all over the place every other day. For some reason route/bus allocations doesn’t seem to work...
This does not apply to the FTR's of course...

Noticed today a repainted Scania saloon on the 28 with a scaled down "Leeds" picture fleetname on the cove panels. This is the first example I have seen in Leeds, looks nice.
